Transcript text: Determine the domain and the range of the piecewise function shown to the right. Then write an equation for the function
A. The range is a list of numbers, $\{-2,1,2\}$
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed)
B. The range is $\square$
(Type your answer in interval notation)

A. $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\square, & \text { for } \square \leq x<\square \\ \square, & \text { for } \square \leq x \leq \square \\ \square, & \text { for } \square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the Domain
The domain of the piecewise function is the set of all x-values for which the function is defined. From the graph, the function is defined for all x-values from -3 to 3, inclusive.
Step 2: Determine the Range
The range of the piecewise function is the set of all y-values that the function can take. From the graph, the y-values are -2, 1, and 2.
Step 3: Write the Piecewise Function
From the graph, we can see that the function has three pieces:
For \( x \leq -1 \), the function is constant at \( y = -2 \).
For \( -1 < x \leq 1 \), the function is constant at \( y = 1 \).
For \( x > 1 \), the function is constant at \( y = 2 \).
Final Answer
The domain of the function is \([-3, 3]\).
The range of the function is \(\{-2, 1, 2\}\).
The piecewise function is:
\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
-2 & \text{for } x \leq -1 \\
1 & \text{for } -1 < x \leq 1 \\
2 & \text{for } x > 1
\end{cases}
\]
